Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each
month to discover free software. Each entry in the Directory
contains a wealth of useful information, from basic category and
descriptions, to providing detailed info about version control,
IRC channels, documentation, and licensing info that has been
carefully checked by FSF staff and trained volunteers.

When a user comes to the Directory, they know that everything in
it is free software, has only free dependencies, and runs on a
free OS. With over 16,000 entries, it is a massive repository of
information about free software.

While the Directory has been and continues to be a great resource
to the world for many years now, it has the potential to be a
resource of even greater value. But it needs your help! And since
it's a MediaWiki instance, it's easy for anyone to edit and
contribute to the Directory.

On this week in 1940, General Charles de Gaulle told the
French on BBC to defy Nazi occupiers. It is regarded as one of the most important speeches in French history. Resistance isn't easy, though, and this is especially
so if the resistance cannot communicate securely. With this in mind, the
Directory meetup this week turns to security software.

If you are eager to help, and you can't wait or are simply unable to
make it onto IRC on Friday, our participation guide will provide
you with all the information you need to get started on helping the
Directory today! There are also weekly Directory Meeting pages
that everyone is welcome to contribute to before, during, and after
each meeting. To see the meeting start time in your time zone, run
